Avery

"Avy!" Jacob screamed as I kept tickling him but I didn't stop. He was laughing so loud and was trying to get rid of me but I sat on top of him and kept tickling him till he couldn't breathe and I was laughing so loud that I couldn't breathe either.

So Jacob took advantage of it and now he was tickling me and I was the one screaming. He showed me no mercy just as I did but I did manage to get out of his grip and run out of our room.

I ran so fast that I didn't even know I could run that fast. I ran down the stairs and I could hear him right behind me and he was faster than me but I managed to duck past him and run out into the backyard.

He tried getting me but I escaped ran again. We now reached the pool area and I ran around it. It was clean but for some reason, Jacob slipped and fell into the water and that was pretty funny to watch too.

"That is what you get for trying to tickle your wife," I say laughing at him as he swam towards me and rubbed his eyes.

"Give me hand," he says but I was too busy laughing but I did extend my hand but I was still laughing so Jacob saw an opportunity and pulled me into the pool along with him and the water hit my face so hard that it was hurting. It even went up my nostrils to my brain.

"Jacob!" I scream but now he was too busy laughing. I acted like I was actually in pain and he got concerned and came towards me but I pushed him down as a revenge and he took me down with him.

We come to the surface of the water and we could not stop laughing. We didn't even know how we got into the pool with full clothes on because the last thing I remember doing was watching a movie and talking to him and here we are.

"You look way too hot right now," he says looking into my eyes first and then at my chest. I looked down and saw my white t-shirt had become translucent and now my red lacy bra was on full display.

I laugh and jump into his arms and he carries me out of the pool. We were soaking wet as we walked back into our pool house and got changed into some warm robes and walked back home.

It was freezing cold out now that I realize it and I didn't even know why we were playing in the water but the thing was we had fun.

We decided to take a hot bubble bath in our Jacuzzi and we did get into the Jacuzzi and relax.

It had been a day since we celebrated our three year wedding anniversary and four years of being together. I took a short holiday of a few days from my ARBN world tour to spend time with Jacob.

My world tour had almost come to an end with only a few weeks remaining and this way my biggest tour I have ever done. It lasted 10 months with 150 shows, with 3 more remaining and I felt so accomplished.

"Avy, promise me one thing," Jacob says as I sleep next to him in our bed.

"What is it?" I ask turning to look at him.

"Promise me that you will finish your ARBN world tour. Completely," he says and I was surprised.

"Of course. Why would you ask me to promise you that?" I ask and he sighs.

"Because I know that you left your Smiles world tour four months early to come home and take care of me. I don't want you wasting your life on me Avy. You have your own too," he says and I cup his face.

"Jakey, when I married you or even when I fell in love with you, your life became mine. I left it because you were more important to me and as long as you are with me, nothing else matters and I will leave everything for you," I say but he doesn't say anything but kiss my nose.

"We'll go far away, where no one us or can find us. I'll the contracts that I signed, and leave. Without Jacob, I don't want anything. I to be successful. But not at this price. Not by him. You don't fall sick along with the patient," I say talking to Jennifer who had called me after he fell asleep.

She was also trying to convince me to live my own life and now worry too much about Jacob but he was my life and how come no one got it? I had to speak softly so as to not wake him up. I was speaking in the balcony outside our room.

"Avery, if your love was his cure, then why didn't it work yet? He has his own demons and he doesn't want to get anywhere. So, will you take him?" she asks and I sigh.

"Not me. He'll take me, in his world, the he stays day and night. His will be mine. His will be mine. He his demons behind, but I can take them up. Then, I find him at some point. He get fed up of it. He come back and say "Avery, I am tired". Then I'll say "Come. ...let's go home." And, he'll come back. We'll come back Jennifer, together," I say hopefully.

"You've gone crazy. You don't know what you're saying," she says and I could hear the love in her voice.

"I have promised him that I would finish this ARBN tour and after it, I am walking away from all of it to stay with him," I say and we end the call.

I sit out on the couch, with my head in my hands and tears fall out of my eyes. I was sobbing now because I could see how hurt Jacob was but he was trying so hard for me. He wanted to stay strong for me or at least appear like he was happy because he knew that if not, I would give up my life to take care of him.

Jacob

I just lay in bed, with my eyes wide open after I just heard Avery speaking to my mother about me and how she wanted to give up everything for me.

Now she was sitting on the couch on the balcony outside, in the chilly night, sobbing. She was crying, because of me because I couldn't get better no matter how much ever she tried to help me.

I was holding her down. I knew it and people like her who have so much talent shouldn't be held down because she makes the world a better place to live. People like her should stay and I've been making her cry.

She came back to bed after a few hours, just as the sky was a bit lighter, indicating that it was very early in the morning and she stood there, just looking at me. She kissed my head and I could feel the tears rolling down her face but she wiped it and turned to the other side.

I have hurt her so much.
